Well, the "Super-commitee" no doubt would be picked just like any other comitee. So it'd give the oldest senators way more power...
and it would also give a LOT more senators plausable deniability.
"I voted against cutting medicaid but they just needed a 50.1% number to make it work instead of the usual... (I dunno 66% or something)."
Also it would GREATLY help reelection campaigns.
Want your state or district to be in the Super Congress? Well since committees are chosen by seniority within the party.... better keep relecting the same guy!
